Tavern Legend

The only thing the ads show about this game is an appealing decision tree sequence, but to get to that in the game is ridiculous. You have to upgrade your tavern to lv14, which takes weeks because each upgrade takes progressively more hours, you can only upgrade 2 buildings at a time, and certain other buildings must be updated first. They tempt you from time to time with offers of the decision tree sequence... until you reach lv14, then it goes silent. While you're grinding through that, you're bombarded with "buy! buy! buy!" The interface is cluttered so you only have a small space to play the game. It is a vast world with a head-spinning number of unexplained things to do that make little sense. There are exclamation marks everywhere you look, and many times when you go into one there is nothing to do - their ethos seems to be "Annoy the player base and trick them left and right and they will spend gobs of money." It's a complete waste of time and is nothing at all like the ads. Shame on the greedy money grubbers

Admin cheats in use. Today I watched and recorded a player moving their ships full of shells from a gathering spot to a lair. To verify I clicked both target and departure and target was lair, departure was shell gathering spot and no where near their island. Also I watched as two players I had been suspecting of using admin privileges for cheating. One in particular had been farming lvl 5 sea beast today. He logged out as I saw his ships return to his island and not move again for about an hour while he was logged out, the lvl 5 sea beasts were forced to spawn 5-10 minutes from players. As soon as this suspected player logged back in, the lvl 5 sea beasts could once again be spawned near island and the player farmed them again for some time, I screen recorded the interaction but there is no easy way to report such a thing and with all the thousands of bots, it is not too surprising.

Honestly I'm surprised there were bad reviews. I'm glad I gave it a chance. There's a lot to do and I mean a lot hahaha. The characters have background and stories, the world is beautiful, and there is so much variety in things to do without pressure. You can play this game everyday and always have something you can do, and they update this game consistently. Thank you for making such a rich and varied game!
